Unwise Edward Klein’s Unwise Book, “The Amateur”: Critique of the Introduction,”The Dark Side of Obama

When I read the introduction of the book “The Amateur” by Mr. Edward Klein, I almost felt like screaming, “I want the refund of my purchase of this book”!

What people do for their living, how they view the world and people often reveals,  reflects their nature, who they are. My first impression on Mr. Klein’s “The Amateur” is that the book reveals Mr. Klein’s twisted, crooked, negative ways of understanding the world, people, and in this case, Mr. Obama. I am still reading the beginning part of the book, so i can not be exactly sure whether it is his intentional strategy of viewing the issue in that way for the goal of provoking readers’ attention and book sales profits or it is his real understanding of the issue, which, in the later case, raises questions on his claimed acclaimed journalistic experience and his level of intelligence and strength of his insight into human psychic.

I happen to raise two bright, gifted (and beautiful) children (girls) and have some understanding on the nature of gifted people.  So, I clearly see how wrong Mr. Klein’s understanding on Mr. Obama in this book. Starting from the introduction of his book, “Amateur,” titled as “The Dark Side of Obama,” by the way, what is Mr. Obama’s Dark side? Why did you use this “SENSELESS” title and put on empty contents? What’s your point? Here, I have to explain where you got things wrong. It’s not my idea; it’s well known pubic knowledge, if you have read news or books. You wrote in page 3, line 13-26:

“Ever since I’ve known him, Obama has had delusions of grandeur and a preoccupation with his place in history,” one of his oldest Chicago acquaintances told me. “He is afflicted with megalomania. How else can you explain the chutzpah of an obscure community organizer who began writing his autobiography before he was thirty years old-and before he had any accomplishmo write about? And how else can you explain the chutzpah of a first-term United States senator, who believed he was qualified for the most difficult job in the world-the presidency-even though he had never held a real job in his life? “You can explain it with any number of words: arrogance, conceit, egotism, vanity, hubris,” this person continued. “But whater word you choose, it speels the same thing-disaster for teh country he leads.”"

By seeing Mr. Klein and his interviewees’s (whomever they are) way of interpreting Mr. Obama’s quality, I see them as “AVERAGE JOES” with “AVERAGE, or So So INTELLIGENCE” without the ability of understanding something “Extra Ordinary.” Nonetherless, I am puzzled at Mr. Klein’s claim of profound jounalistic experience as an “Used-To-Be” editor of Newsweek and New York Times. Where is his “Learning, accumulated knowledge” from his journalistic experience? Has he never interviewed any extra ordinary people who made knotch on world or national history in whatever their area of specialty?

The “Primary Characteristic of Extra Ordinary People” who have made marks in world or national history, or achieve something special in various fields is that, so often, “They knew from their early childhood that they will do, achieve something special in their future.” They may not know the exact contents of what they will achieve, but they have idea that they are special, have some kind of mission to achieve. And their lives are mostly driven towards that goals, mission. Many of this kind of cases have been written in news articles of famous people. Mr. Obama’s rise to the U.S. Presidency is one of these showcases. Hasn’t Mr. Klein read any of those articles?

So, the “Positive” interpretation of Mr. Obama’s writting his autobiography by the age thirty years old before rising to the U.S. Presidency could be: “Mr. Obama knew, predicted his political destiny early on and prepared stages for that goal in advance by writing his autobiography. It doesn’t seem necessary to interprete the same fact as negative as Mr. Obama’s “arrogance, conceit, egotism, vanity, hubris.”

Another thing about Mr. Obama, the major factor that enabled his unprecent rising to the U.S. Presidency, despite the uncompromising, unyielding, almost impossible disadvantage of his African-American heritage is his “RARE” combination of giftnedness: The combination of “General Giftedness” and “Leadership Giftedness” equipped in him.

I have introductory knowledge of giftnedness because of my kids. Books of giftedness usually describe people with general giftedness as people who excell in all different areas of subjects, including verbal, mathmatical, musical, arts, reasoning, etc. They do well or excell in most areas. On the other hand, some gifted people excell in only one specific area but don’t do very well in other areas; such as some people are only good at math or language, but not good at both. Some gifted people are good at only arts, drawings, but not good at music or language, etc. Some poeple are good at social skills and have giftedness in leadership, but not good at math, language, or art etc.

But I read that it is rare to see any gifted person who have both “General Giftedness and Leadership Giftedness.” That explains why we don’t often see any famous scientists or economists daring to rise to the U.S. Presidency. And this rare combination of giftedness has enabled Mr. Obama to overcome his unimaginable obstacles in all various aspects to rise to the current position.

If Mr. Klein had understood this side of the picture and had ability or intention of seeing issues in positive ways, I believe his understanding and writing of Mr. Obama could, must have been far different from his book, “The Amateur.”

This post is a brief critique of the introduction part of “The Amateur”, “The Dark Side of Obama”, which basically says nothing the ”Dark Side” of Mr. Obama, but rather “The Dark Side of Mr. Klein, His Dark Intention against Mr. Obama.” It’s simply Mr. Klein’s misinterpretation (intentional or malintentional) of Mr. Obama’s personality, quality.

Later, if I find time to do so, I may do more critique of each chapters, how Mr. Klein got his or other people’s interpretation of Mr. Obama wrong, how he could have described the positive sides of the matters, issues, if his nature had been a positive one in bright side. 

that’s why not everybody should have choked on my throat, including y. so i can have some leftover energy and time to do…….at least kids are getting calmer and.

“Character Assasanation”? Ooorrrrrr “Character Assessment” of Mr. Romney’s Bullying Personality?

Bullying – Missionary Work – Bullying:

“Character Assasanation”? Or “Character Assessment”?

If the latest news of Mr. Romney’s bullying had been a malicious character assasnation, it means that none of these bullying things had even happened in the past and all these are false accusation?

Photo: Lately very hansomized Mr. Romney.

Srurce: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/05/romneys-smart-unsentimental-strategy.html

I heard news about Mr. Romney’s highschool bullying. My impression of this news is, it gives some kind of insight, clue into his character, personality, an important human factor that determines him as a qualified candidate to lead a country that presides as a world’s biggest economic and political giant.

What disturbing is, the level of cruelty of his bullying during his high school days, and picking up the weakests of his schoolmates, instead of other equally competitive opponents of his.   What kind of manhood is this? (I have really itching, troublesome biological system of dealing with people who are not (mentally) man enough.) And hearing these two bullied people already dead by now, even before reaching their 60s? It makes me imagine how hard their lives may have been, probably being prone to be bullied by others?

False Character Assasanation is a Terrible Thing to Do. But Right Character Assessment is a Necessary Step in Choosing a Right Leader.  

The school mates may have been unpleasant to his taste, which nonetheless should not have necessarily provoted his urge to bully them. And then he went on his missionary work in Europe? Does this sound consistent with his previous tendency of bullying? Missionary work seems to be more of character of loving neighbor, other humanbeings rather than bullying; is it possible that some people can suddenly change their inborn nature from bullying to loving- other umanbeings- and go back to bulling thing again?)

And then, after college / higher education, he went into business, Bain Capital, that basically hunt for weak business entities to make profits.  The choice of his work seems to indicate that his personality factor of targeting, prying into weak beings in troubles and hunting for them, which seems to not have stopped with his high school graduation but continued into his future life through his choice of job. It’s seems be the nature of more of ruthless predator, rather than moral humane leader whom takes advantage of weak people / parties rather than protecting them. In this sense, his experience as a missionary, which i thought as a positive factor regardless of his religious background, seems to be more of automatic, habitual act of his upbringing as a Mormon and religious environment rather than any personal conviction, religious act.

Normally, people’s highschool behavior can be considered as a thing of silly past. But in this case, it seems to be the clue of who he actually is in the continum of his life and what kind of leader he will be. His statement ”People are jealouse of rich people, him being rich, doesn’t ring as a righteous, sincere statement………

Thesedays, so often, we hear people calling political leaders as “Prophet” worldwide. so i don’t use that word that much anymore. But, “Have you heard about “Bullying Prophets”?

if the post is too drastic, editing would be welcomed.; “labor value or wage disperancy between day and night shift.” what? anyway, need wage.

According to NPR news, young voters’ high unemployment rate(around 30% of college graduates are employed?) is due to permanent structural changes of industries, permanent (not temporary) contraction of some industries (such as housing market, construction, financial etc) due to the latest deep recession resulting from the wallstreet crisis along with others, which are gone and will not come back even when the economy recovers.  

Since the last presidential election, young voters are viewed to have enthusisam gap in coming election. This issue of high youth unemployment rate and their unemployment resulting from deep recession/ industirial structural changes of fianancial crisis related industrial contraction could be a theme of galvanazing youth voters.

similar to war on women, war on youth? 

“Secret Service Prostitution Scandal Roils DC”: Is It That Surprise To You? We all Knew That All the Time.

Update: “military cannot get..” Answer: i am not sure what to say. when men (including military) have urge, the rule of thumb seems to be “men gotta do whatever men gotta do.” (and blame women for all the consequences) there seem to be nothing that much to make these men stop. it’s not just military issue. here, just a while ago, there was the major debate of contraception, and the bigger issue of abortion, single mothers becoming caterpillars. there are also huge AIDs issues. all these issues only deal with the consequences of “you know what,” which result from male tendency of “you know what.” but nobody talks about how to deal with the “Mother Cause” of “you know what,” but only argue with the consequences, dump all the blames onto “the B – women,” condemn how modern females are such immoral B- (who was the female law student who representatively took the charge of this attack.).

Going back to the original issue, to prevent military taking foreign p-, will their american wives, girlfriends, or females be shipped to the foreign military sites? or demand them to live like “monks”?

Original Writing: It is kind of surprised to see the above news breaking out as a surprise, shock to the US public and causing some kind of political drama. My first reaction was, “So?” I was very much puzzled. Because that kind of practice have been very much “Business As Usual” in Asian countries for decades and centuries, no matter who were in political leadership. As far as I knew.

(picture source: http://freakymartin.com/nitro/webpark/47e55112ef546usa_secret_service_3.jpg; the picture is just randomly chosen from internet.)

As an Asian who have heard about the presence of US military bases in home countries and how US military personnels have been living there and date/slept with Asian women, the news is no surprise to me at all. Actually the news have been typical cases of how military people got dates or do physical activities with foreign women when there military bases located in foreign countries. It has been well known private history of american soldiers for decades, centuries. nothing new at all.

Usually, in Asia, such as in Korea or Vietnam, since mid-20th century or probably before that, throughout Korean War or Vietnam War, or Japanese Invation of Asia before those wars, the asian women that foreign soldiers have got in touch with, slept with have been mostly prostitutes, or those women who have been marginalized in these countries because of low socio-economic classes and lack of education, can not get normal lives with their own citicizes. So, these women gathered around forein military bases for work and prostitution. Thererore, the majority of women who had lived around military bases and got in touch with US military have been either prostitutes or marginalized females that had been deserted by their own country people. The American soldiers who had stationed there probably didn’t know who those women were when they either dated or bought their escort services with money. And some of them got married with those women and brought them to this country. This is hidden, private history of cold war, Korean War, or Vietnamese war. Wars, the presence of US military bases in underdeveloped countries often provided the matchmaking of US soldiers and prostitutes or marginalized women of underdeveloped countries. In that sense, the US provide the new life for these marginalized Asian women to refreshingly enter this country as the wives of US soldiers and start brand new lives with their past history behind. From childhood, we heard about these women and people criticizing, pointing fingers to these women back in my country. This has been happened not just under Mr. Obama’s nose, but under those of Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, Mr. Bush, Mr. Reagan, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. …….All the time.

The prostituting of America security personnel (except the danger of leaking security information of national affair to other informants) have been daily matter of facts around US military bases all around the world.

It has been very recent phenomena that US solders got in touch with, involved with some females of general public, outside military bases, occasionally some females of high school or college degrees with normal lifestyles and got married to. As time goes by, those Asian people‘s biased perception toward foreign military personells have been gradually eased and the number of this kind of marriage have been (very) slowly increasing. But, going back the time, the number of prostitutes getting married with American soldiers have been the majority.

In this sense, the majority of foreign or Asian wives of US military personnel in this country, the majority of this demographic group used to be from that entertainment industry in other underdeveloped countries, who turned into (probably many of them) as american citizen here.  And the US military’s engagement of sexual conduct with Asian women or foreign women (mainly prostitutes) in those countries have been one of major factors that have agonized those countries’ hatred of American hegemonic power. Becuase they considered that US soldiers have been dirtied their women, even when the majority of those women were deserted, isolated by their own people and got married with American soldiers to survive and start new lives in this country. 

As a matter of fact, when i moved to this town, and when i didn’t know anybody around, the person whom i accidently met at a store introduced me to a small group of Korean women who were married to US soldiers. i was introduced to that group of women, without me awaring, because my marriage was interacial. In the beginning i had no idea of whom they were. After some months, i realized that some of these women were of possibly ex-prostitutes whose education was that of elementary school or middle school level, not comfortable to read books or bible. but they have been enthusiastic activists in churchs, raise their voices and power in churches. these women actually became my hunting memory.  poverty or difficult past sometimes drive people vicious. maybe not always, but sometimes. These women also belonged to the same church in which another korean wife of hawaian origin whose husband was running some local hospital chain and got involved in local politics. So, in some sense, my perception was, these ex-prostitues have been partial local representative of me. that was my perception. it had been kind of hunting memory.

My point is, when these prostitution case is investigated, the history of US military bases in foreign countries should be based on. And this is not one single, unique case but a part of everyday incidences, which accidently got exposed to the media.   

i guess, i feel lost. without l. don’t know why have to live. that’s probably been my nature. that’s why i felt horrible whole through the time. a few days ago, i slept  though the night, didn’t hear a thing despite all thundering, when tonado was sweeping the town just 2-3 miles away from where i was. didn’t hear a thing, not a single sound. my seperation cured my insomnia, slept like a babyso often, even despite the ordeal of post-war trauma like. but still felt hope. but not now. what now.

http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-poll-obama-leads-romeny-by-9-points-20120416,0,371413.story?track=rss

i wouldn’t believe myself of how excited i was to read the above article. simply because to read about not so simple (although not extremely complicated either yet, according to the article) “mind jungle” of prospective voters on deciding whom they will vote for the 2012 election. how the leverages of different factors – such as (GOD the Father) gender, income gap, age/generation gap, political affiliation or independence, candidates’ personal characteristics / performances, interest groups / superPAC, pro- or anti-incumbent voting patterns, socio-economic environments, sudden natural or man-made disasters, irrational factors such as palin, joe plummer, and what was her name? Ann Gosling? (Ouuuch. My apology to Ms. Hilary Rosen. i got confused her name with someone else’s. then who is Ann Gosling?)(Suddenly one woman seemingly, momentarily became an accidental spokeswoman for the president without appointment or being asked by him or his party? interesting. it makes me wonder how the president or his party will be able to control the potential possible millions of independent opinions of invisible, unexpected, uninvited spokespeople who may accidentally enter the national stage of mumbles and bumbles?), or hollywood-style-gossips, etc. etc.- will play out, interact with each other to drive the majority of voters to vote for one candidate.

“We Don’t Know Exactly Who Will Suddenly Represent Us “Out of Nowhere.” We Just Wish that They are Friends, or Friendly People, not Opponents. Not Those who are Hostile, Not so Informed, or Mentally Challenged. Just “Hope” for the Best.” 

and how campaigners can control these different factors’ leveraging power in voters’ minds toward the winning point. it certainly sounds exciting. i wish i have no life, nothing to do or worry, so can simply stuck at my (favorite) place to play with these puzzle pieces. as a risk-averter in real life in most cases, this would be the place to play imagination and guessing most wildly. Inside human mind. (oh, no, i have to be careful for what i wish for. so my revision of my wish: good life with love, happiness, respectful/mighty husband with respectful friends with their moral, decent wives (who are proud of their own hudsbands so don’t have to hit on somebody else’s husbands) to have occasional pleasant dinners together and talk about the world and life together (i’d been sick and sick of my ex’s no-friends-only-eyeballing low-class-junki-women-and-wamanizing policy), beautiful children (with their nannies hopely if both of us have enough income, and beautiful things around, and spend the quite some part of my time on something meaningful, productive projects to make my life fulfilling (and generate some income too to sustain life in that way).

“A Game of Chess in a Jungle of Minds”

Anyway, although the latest Gullup polling shows the different result, CNN results indicate President Obama’s lead over Mr. Romney in most of these various factors.

“fought like ferrets” “earth like colors”….the issue of single mom, working mom may be possible subject to explore, another potential issue such as inequality…..different kind of inequality, gender and religious discrimination, more integregated / systhesized issue of many different sujects….seeing the amazing turn around of contraception issues….. although i don’t know it quite yet.:

The ex seems to be trying to hijack this site also, same as he did with my e-mail accounts. when try to log in, it seems to go fishing site with different web address.; the case is continued to next month. the judge asked what i want, program or guilty /pr….but the case is simply over sooner or later probably.; this is so called i-don’t-know, what-the -h- situation. justice is justice, independent from forgiveness. but while still relying on financially. what-the-h-; it was somewhat fun to write this post. enjoyable.

Mr. Obama and Mr. Reagan?: “Act like Men, Think like Women.”

“Who is More Conservative: Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama? “

http://mydd.com/users/theyoungturks/posts/who-is-more-conservative-ronald-reagan-or-barack-obama

it is interesting to know that President Obama and Ex-P. Reagan have common factor policies. as a rather politically ingnorant person whom knew nothing that much about Mr. Reagan except the fact that he transformed from an actor into a President, it’s good to know this fact and actually i respect Mr. Reagan for doing what the author of above blog listed as below:

Excerpt: If you think that’s an absurd question, you’re not alone. We had this discussion on The Dylan Ratigan Show when I was filling in for him on MSNBC and both of my guests thought it was absurd. A conservative website led with the headline that it was absurd (though they did not present one single fact to back up their claim). Except as it turns out, based on the facts, it is a really hard question to answer. And it would be absurd to claim otherwise.

Ronald Reagan:

• Gave Amnesty to Illegal Immigrants
• Negotiated with Terrorists (Traded Arms for Hostages with Iran)
• Raised Taxes on a Large Scale Four Times (After Initially Lowering Them)
• Negotiated with the “Evil Empire” without Pre-conditions
• Made a Decision to “Cut and Run” From Lebanon After Our Troops Were Attacked

it would be interesting to hear the opinion of a person with rather blank mind of politics.

No wonder why Mr. Reagan had been chosen as the most popular, highly rated US president in recent polls. He was not fixated on typologies or categorizations, such as “Conservatives” or “Liberals”, or “Socialists.” He was flexible, focused on what are the primary goals and secondary goals and adjusted his policies as the situations dictated the nation to adapt.

What’s with this Amerian Obsession, Fixation with “Conservatives,” Liberals”, or Socialism etc.? It’s just human invention, attachment of languages to identify people with different political opinions. It’s not the answer to solve the critical problems of the country.

If there are good ideas/answeres in everywhere, no matter conservative or liberal or independent, just collect them and use them to solve the current crises. Maybe create new language for the collection of these good ideas, like ………..oh i don’t have time for this now. will think later.

I will learn more about Mr. Reagan later.

But if Mr. Reagan had earned the hist rating of US Presidency by doing these, probably Mr. Barack also should get the same equal high rating of Presidency by doing this, for fairness. Because both seemed to have focused on finding answers to the situations rather than sticntking to their political orientation.

Negotiating with terrorists? i don’t see any problem with that. if there are important other missions, like saving innocent lives, innocent lives become the primary mission over the negative image of negotiating with terrorists. maybe it’s wise:

“Act like Men, but Think like Women.”

Obviously both Mr. Obama and Mr. Reagan did it, despite their political disparity.

more expression please. enough amount of daily expressions needed for daily confirmation. otherwise, feel so dry

Do we really have to be afraid of alien?

i’m surprised that my old bloc post is listedin the search words of steven hawkings on economy. my first  reaction was, did i write it? my second reaction was, someone actually read this kind of stuff? i thought my posts are more like my monologue or read by very a few…….(and wished to keep it in that way.)

Do we really have to be afraid of alien?: “Stephen Hawking: Humans Should Fear Aliens”

The blog post, “Stephen Hawking: Humans Should Fear Aliens”, reports:

“world renowned scientist Stephen Hawking believes extraterrestrial life almost certainly exists — and humans should be extremely cautious about interacting with it.”(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/25/stephen-hawking-aliens_n_551035.html)

I think there was another news that scientists have found some planets outside our galaxy, which, similar to the Earth, have somewhat habitable conditions for living organisms. So, there may be aliens.

However, if there were aliens, would they necessarily have to be advanced, high-tech geeks? Or they may be just like jelly fish, bacteria kinds? Hopelessly, directionlessly swimming or crawling around. Also, would their mental, cultural, social, or economic systems (do they even have these?) necessarily be obsessed with conquering resources and invading or being invaded? Yes, I heard that the building material for universe is same; but, if the building material was same throughout universe, would the products /byproducts of those material be supposed to function exactly same way as those in the Earth? And is the human mentality of conquering and being conquered for resources supposed to be the universal, dominant rule of any living creature throughout universe? Are all living creatures supposed to be greedy in certain ways? Is this “the Law of Universe”? Anyway, because of “the Destructive Impacts of Global Warming”, human race may eventually have to initiate “Peace Talk” with alien folks, to ask their permission of sharing some of their space with us.

‘how far away future?’; the trouble is, i am losing my confidence of understanding scriptures. i feel more and more confused about what scriptures say about direction. it seems like everybody pounces on me, saying they know everything about scriptures, i understand nothing, naive. how idiot i am. before, it seemed to be clear, a single direction. now there seem to be multiple directions and i don’t know which one exactly.; again confirmed that i know nothing. i’m an idiot. how dare did i think i can understand, interpret scriptures? again and again, i realized i have no gift in any religious thoughts.

War on caterfiller: at least a caterpillar likes the defeative nature.

i read the below news with puzzling interest, amazement and enjoyment to see national politics comes down almost to my “Cupcake” level, that of an (sometimes) (semi) extremely immature person (or could it be the sign of extreme maturity overloaded? by the way, why the thunder is roaring in the sky, while i’m contemplating this? it did again.):

“Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Wednesday dismissed the suggestion of a “GOP war on women,” saying on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital With Al Hunt”: “If the Democrats said we had a war on caterpillars and every mainstream media outlet talked about the fact that Republicans have a war on caterpillars, then we’d have problems with caterpillars. It’s a fiction.”

Women are “Caterpillars”? 

Ummmmmmm, before, i never thought about myself as that little cute insect (are they categorized as insect? or babies of insect?). i cannot really touch it. my kids sometimes intentionally push it toward me to make fun of me, to make me surprise and run away. it’s not because i dislike it. it’s because of some excessive gross hormone in my head. my overall concept of caterpillar is cute one, as children’s books say so. can i be one of those little cute ones too? whmmmmmmmm……

i hadn’t consider myself as a woman that much. i considered self as more like between men and women. physiologically categorized as one of women, but psychologically closer to men. so, occassionally, if any guy seemed to be interested in me or so, i asked myself “why?”. but now, i seem to be more like a women if i stand in front of strong male presence. (but if i stand in front of women, i feel more like a man speaking in woman’s voice, i guess. or not?) so, i’m one of those cute (possibly brainless, thinkingless) caterpillars, i guess. i like it!

manufatured? so what. everything is manufactured. naturally or man-madely. biologically, or technologically, or businessly.

“even truth, justice, fairness are man-made.” 

did somebody declare war on me caterpillar?; what is “domestic violence review hearing”? last time, was told that new date will be probably for plea bargaining. but it seems to be not. this stupid thing, what a waste of life.; will have to move.; which paramour? if it’s that paramour, i feel bone-shrieking sympathy for her. my sincerely condolence for her future tragic life. her rather obese husband might have been a better knight in shining armor than my ex. she wouldn’t never know it until she regrets into her bones through her life.; “jesus rescues me”

Today, at a bookstore, i saw the special issue of China and Latin America by Americas quarterly, winter 2012 issue (?) in this spring. Anyway,  by roughly flipping through the issue, the publication’s goal seems to address the expansionary force of China into the Bworld economy, which may look somewhat contradictory to the view of  previous post “China’s Blues.” The detailed view will be later reviewed as i actually read this issue. Nonetheless, the core point remains same. Culturally exposing Chinese public to westen culture, higher living standards,  and related matters in various outlets. Repeated exposure to western culture and lifestyle through media and chinese people with foreign experiences and trade / commerce may become effective in developing chinese people’s addiction, obsession with the benefits of capitalism, higher quality living standard, which will weaken people’s blind royalty to their current regime.

Regarding the democratization of energy, when i roughly read the article (months ago), i had some impression that the effect of energy revolution in future may be somewhat overrated in that article. it was my first impression. i will try to read it more carefully (later) to have better point of view. My rough points are,

(A) the “Direct Economic Impact” of energy industry’s impending transformation in future, mainly using renewable energy sources, may be roughly guessed at this point by looking the current Share of Energy Industry (that combines oil, gas, electricity etc) in total US GDP, which is probably 8-9% or so of US GDP, i guess?

(B) the “Exponential Effects” of the revolution may be not exactly measurable at this point.

1.Reduced pollution and public health risk and lower indirect costs of cleaning up environments and public health care costs.

2. Potential impacts on world politics and world energy markets, as it will make wars such as vietnamese or iraq wars unnecessary, or prevent price manipulation in world energy markets, putting world economy and security in more stable, orderly manners and eliminate the related economic costs and casualties of human lives of energy related wars.

3. Synergy effect of energy revolution with technological developments of other industries.

4.Some changes in national infrastructure, employments, and landscapes in more futuristic ways. We have to consider the nature of this new age industry, as a industry of more technology / highly skilled human labor-intensive, and less semi or low-skilled-labor intensive industry. At least in the beginning. Which make us guess the revolution’s potential impact on the US employment structure.

5. The industry’s nature will change from being a main supplier of energy to being partial energy supplier and partial manufacturer/supplier of parts and technologies for individual energy producers at home or smaller scale producers.

6. For now, the industry based on renewable energy sources can probably be called as an infant industry. It’s production costs are likely still too high to be competitively priced in energy market for consumer’s consumption. So, it will have to undergo it’s “learning curve” of being produced massively at market-competitive prices. When will it happen? Who knows, yet.

So, what would be the total impact of the industry’s direct economic impact and potential, exponential impact?

China Blues

Now my computer even doesn’t start. i had to come to public place to use….Please help me live and get rid of him (ex)from this country. otherwise, he blocks all my ways in any possible ways.

Today, by chance, i got to read Mr. Henry Kissinger’s essay, “the future of US-Chinese relations published in “foreign affair.” As it is available in bookstore. It kind of gave me a fresh, positive look on the prospect of China’s future democratization, although maybe a distant future.

My previous view of China was China’s global economic expansion after uniting, solidifying its economic /trade bloc with neighboring Asian countries including all industrializing Asian economic tigers. the major challenge of that country to democratization, regardless of expanding trade and economic power has been the rigidity of the community government that block western cultural influence on it’s people to maintain its political power. (please bear with me. my view may be decade-outdated, that of before having kids.). On contrary, Mr. Kissinger views China as a country entrapped by other neighboring democratic countries which are US allies, a refreshing perspective that gives higher hope, a more positive spin /prospect to transform the country into a democratic country.

while being a student long time ago, i used to live with and encountered a few Chinese students. (i’m not sure still what i am trying to say is true though). According to them, the Chinese government had strictly segregated those Chinese who studied abroad and came back to China from the general Chinese public. Because the regime had been afraid that those people with foreign experiences may spoil, let Chinese public know that people in western countries live different from them, live far better lives than them……

The best way of transforming China into modern democratic country may be more effectively achieved by its own cultural revolution within its people along with massive infusions of western cultures, philosophy and lifestyle choices, rather than by outside’s political or economic pressure. For purpose, it may be effective to make Chinese media open to western influences, like a lot of advertizements of products or events in American style (that go well with Chinese taste/preferences), music, dances, foods, entertainments, lifestyle, sports, commerce, business investments, whatever. Spreading Western culture there as much as possible and let Chinese public know, and compare different worlds with theirs, that would be one way of mordernizing China as one of democratic countries. Making the country similar to India’s case, which even has bollywood in imitation of Hollywood.

For that matter, it may be effective to facilitate mamy chinese students who study in US to go back to China, as agents of spreading news /influence of American culture. Up to now, as jobs in China had bee relatively scarce, and due to the govt’s segregation, many or most chinese students seem to stay in US for job purposes (as Indian or Korean students do too) instead of returning to China.
